Those crunchy green stalks are the mainstay of dieters everywhere. When you consider it's only 6 calories a stalk, celery is a good source of cancer-fighting vitamin A and blood pressure-controlling potassium. It also contains a modest amount of bone-building calcium. What it doesn't contain is any fat. When you think of it, that's a lot of first-rate action for such a second-class food.
Cheese is the catch-22 of foods. It's chock-full of nutrients:plenty of bone-protecting calcium, lots of stress-fighting B vitamins and cancer-protecting vitamin A. But it's also full of fat, and mostly the saturated variety. The way around it, however, is to eat only the low-fat, low-salt varieties. And eat it sparingly--a I-ounce helping is plenty. The lighter in color and softer in texture, the less fat. Your best bet : dry curd cottage cheese.
